 and here I am 2015.. I have FAILED..  My General Prac. said I MUST LOOSE this extra weight.. Pressure on my Heart and Lungs.  I did so well for so Long, BUT.. I know where I went wrong. Day after Day, Week afer week, Month after month, YEAR AFTER YEAR. Sitting on my fat ass day Snacking, Mindlessly Snacking.. Over time.. It ALL ADDS UP, It Creeps up Slow and Gradual.. Most cases are even aware, Till you notice slipping BACK INTO THE FAT CLOTHES AGAIN...I am and have been a HOME BOUND health care provider, First for my Father, until He passeday.. NOW.. for my Father in law.. NO exercise, No NOTHING.. My only enjoyment, solace, is FOOD. Due to my sleeve.. I still physically CAN NOT OVER EAT in one sitting. DONT GET ME WRONG.. I believe in the SLEEVE.. IT WORKS.. BUT..  IF>> I / WE do not curb our Negative eating habits, and regularly get SOME exercise Walking, Yard work.. HELL.. even SEX.. ANYTHING thay gets your ass up out of your chair, and your blood pumping. ME.. NOTHING.. SITTING HOUR AFTER HOUR, DAY AFTER DAY.. I FAILED> AND FEEL LIKE HELL AGAIN.. cant breath, Everything hurts, Depression, Its all back.. I MISS feeling good in general, and about myself.. I am thinking, My only alternative is to get the revision surgery from VSG to RNY. BUT.. My insurance is Complete SHIT.. and I think they will do like last time, and tell me to crawl off and die..  ( Last time I had to self pay, and went to Mexico ) I Might have to sell my car.. and do that again !!!!   (( USELESS INSURANCE ANYWAY !!! ))

Thats all for now...

Well,.. its been a bit over 5 years.. and I am Gradually slipping back into HELL> I went from 412lbs.. down to 250lbs.. now i am back up to 300lbs..  NOT ACCEPTABLE..  I need to find options.. besides Sewing my mouth shut or simply eating a bullet. Even at my Post surgery best.. I had issues with the Problem areas.. and couldnt loose weight in those places No matter what I tried.. Still cant.. and true to my old mind set.. I believe i have given up.. and figured.. why bother.. what does it matter.  ( STUPID.. and Un-PRODUCTIVE - YES )   I am Sure.. I could gradually , and sensibly loose the weight i have gained.. But.. i will still have those problem areas, that will plague me..  ( Pelvic area, Sides, Back, & Tummy ) I know there is Lipo, and T.T. procedures out there, But cost a small fortune.. and just like my initial VSG.. ((My shyte insurance will NOT COVER IT... ))  There is a LOT of info out there.. and SO MUCH OF IT IS BAD.. it is over whelming.. Any suggestions..

((Besides the sewing or bullet thing.. ))

 

Thanks..   Randy C.

   Its been an Interesting 3 years.. A bit of a roller coaster.. But still a good ride.. I have taken a Bit of weight back on.. And I know EXACTLY WHY..... And I'm taking steps to remedy that problem. ( Literally ).... Lol.. I bought a Xbox Kinect system with a few of the cool Work out titles.. For my 3 year anniversary.. (( Its ALL still in the factory packaging !! ))  My Father passed away from Cancer Sept. 2009, and Left me a beautiful home on the St. Johns River in Central, FL. My Dad was My Biggest supporter, Then.. as He is now .. and ALWAYS will be. May of 2010.. I took a Trans Atlantic Cruise to Europe, and basically Spent a Month there, What a great Experience that was.. and SOOOO Much walking.. ((Besides the Motorcycles in Bermuda))
I still have a very interesting Diet.. and Yes.. Many of the same things I couldnt eat before.. I still CAN NOT..  ( No regrests at all Here !! ) 
I will try to check in A bit more frequently..
Cheers to all..

Randy

I believe I have found my (End result / Goal weight) 

"Mind you, This is without any real routine or exercise.."

I am confident, I can maintain this result for the rest of my life,  I started out at a Top end weight of 407ish, ( Give or take a few)
,... I am Now at the weight of 258 ( give or take 3-4 lbs )
For those of you that have heard me say over the past year Plus (In the forum),
" when i start working out More weight will come off ",
Well,.. With Me being the King of Procrastination, 

I NEVER got around to any kind of exercise routine.. My weight loss has been exclusively through ((Dietary Change.. and quantity control))

  The VSG has allowed me to do this EFFORTLESSLY !!!!!

As We All Know !!   These Weight loss surgeries are ((Just a Tool, )) To Aid us In Becomming  Happier, Healthier, People.
The rest Is all Up to us,  For the rest of our lives, We must remain ever Steadfast, And dedicated to Our own Health and well being.

From the The progressive Updated Avatars, I have Observed from frequent reads of the forum, EVERY one of us Should be so Happy, and YES.. Proud... of the personal sucsess' we have achieved.

May God Bless Us... EVERYONE !
